Viva! L.A. Music Festival, Headlined by Kali Uchis and Daddy Yankee, Is Canceled Due to ‘Setbacks,’ Organizers Say

Source cites "logistical issues" as cause for festival's cancelation

Viva! L.A. Music Fest, the buzzed-about Latin festival originally scheduled for June 25 at Dodger Stadium, has been canceled, organizers confirm to Rolling Stone.

“We regret to announce that Viva L.A. Music Festival will no longer take place this June,” Goldenvoice said in a statement. “Recent setbacks forced us to make the difficult decision to cancel the event.”

Event organizers reached out to several artists this week to let them know that the festival is no longer happening, a source tells Rolling Stone. A second source, who spoke on background, attributed the cancelation to “logistical issues” related to planning the massive festival.

Fans with tickets will receive direct refunds to credit cards used within two weeks, organizers said.

Planned by Goldenvoice, the force behind events such as Coachella and Stagecoach, Viva! L.A. was billed as a star-studded showcase of Spanish-language stars, including Becky G, Kali Uchis, J Balvin, Daddy Yankee, and Carin León.

The lineup also included a large emphasis on música Mexicana with headlining acts such as Los Tucanes De Tijuana, Los Dos Carnales, and El Fantasma. Prominent Latin indie stars like Cuco, Carla Morrison, Ed Maverick, and Omar Apollo were also set to perform at the one-day event.

General passes at the lowest price point — $199 — had already sold out; some were still available on the site for $229 and $329 on Friday. VIP admission tickets were being sold for $499 and $650.

An Instagram page for the festival, which had previously been full of activity, shared a video with the musica Mexicana duo Eslabón Armado on Monday, promoting ticket sales for the event. The page has not been updated since then.

Viva LA! Fest is the second Southern California-based music festival focused on Latin music to be canceled this year. After replacing original headliners Christian Nodal and Anuel AA with Becky G, Ozuna and CNCO, Los Dells announced the indefinite postponement of the festival “due to circumstances beyond our control.” The one-day San Bernardino fest was set to feature artists such as Adriel Favela, Ally Brooke, Banda Renovación, and Sofía Reyes.

Viva LA! is one of numerous Latin-focused festivals planned this year;  Sueños, a new reggaeton and trap showcase in Chicago, was held on Memorial Day Weekend; Anuel AA, Rauw Alejandro, and Nicky Jam headlined Vibra Urbana in Vegas in late April; the three-day reggaeton festival Más Flow is taking place in Chicago from July 15 to July 17, and the nostalgic Bésame Mucho Fest is scheduled for December 3 at Dodger Stadium.

Homegrown fest Viva L.A. is getting an upgrade to a full-blown stadium-caliber lineup this summer.

J Balvin, Daddy Yankee, Kali Uchis and Becky G top the lineup for the 10th edition of Viva L.A. Music Festival on June 25 at Dodger Stadium. Tickets, which start at $199 plus fees, go on sale Saturday, April 2 at 10am. A portion of proceeds will benefit No Us Without You, which supports undocumented restaurant workers.

Check out the full lineup below, which includes the likes of Cuco, Chicano Batman, the Marías, Devendra Banhart, Omar Apollo and more.

Viva! L.A. Music Festival, the highly anticipated Latin music event planned for Saturday, June 25 at Dodger Stadium, has been canceled, according to the music festival’s social media pages.

On June 3, the festival put out a statement via social media that the cancellation was due to “recent setbacks.” According to the festival’s website and its social media, fans who purchased tickets will be refunded within the next two weeks.

At a time when music festivals such as Coachella have been embracing an increasingly diverse and Latino audience, Viva! L.A. was anticipated to be one of the most ambitious Latino music festivals of the summer.

The top of the bill had been scheduled to be led by Spanish-language superstars such as J Balvin, Kali Uchis, and Becky G. It was also slated to be one of Daddy Yankee’s last performances after announcing his retirement earlier this year. Other legendary Mexican acts, such as Paquita la del Barrio, Los Tucanes de Tijuana and El Fantasma, had also been scheduled to perform.
